Climbing 45:00 [3]
Brooklyn Boulders with Ben; Joe is out of town, and Melanie was prepping for a retreat. I purchased climbing shoes and a harness because it was costing $10/session to rent them. My shoes feel like clogs right now - the sole is very stiff. I hope they break in with time.
I climbed about 10-15 pitches, but my forearms felt astonishingly weak. I made it through two full length 5.8s, made it through a 5.10b that had stymied me in the past (with two falls and a rest), an overhanging 5.9, and a couple other 5.9s. I finished up with a few laps of autobelaying 5.5s - 5.7s to work on my footwork and break in my new shoes.
